Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Chandler Massey and Christie Clark Return as Loved Ones Prepare to Say Goodbye to John
This week on all-new episodes of Days of our Lives, John Black’s loved ones gather by his hospital bedside preparing for his death and hoping for one last miracle.
As DAYS viewers saw on the Friday, May 23rd cliffhanger, John was fighting for his life, after saving the day one last time to give his good friend, Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) a chance to live by getting the vial of Versavix out of the meth lab. However, a fire ensueed and he was badly-burned.
In story, the writers needed to craft a way to have the characters say goodbye to the character of John Black since his portrayer Drake Hogestyn passed away last year due to complications from pancreatic cancer; hence “John’s” face is bandaged.

Now, in the latest video promo for DAYS, Chandler Massey returns as Will Horton to be by his grandmother Marlena’s (Deidre Hall ) side as her beloved husband slips away, as does Christie Clark as Carrie Brady. Meanwhile, Steve (Stephen Nichols) is in the hospital chapel in tears praying to God to, “Please help my partner,” as Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) struggles with her emotions and John’s prognosis.
Meanwhile, Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) is laying down the law to Xander (Paul Telfer), after he leveled Victor’s other son, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and put him in the hospital. Later, Jada (Elia Cantu) places Xander under arrest for the assault of Philip Kiriakis. Elsewhere, Rachel (Alice Halsey) points the finger at Johnny (Carson Boatman) for being at the mansion the night that EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) was shot, as Johnny continues to look like the prime suspect.

I’m dying to see Will, such an awesome character! And the other returns too! Lucas? I miss him so much. Already saw Ciara s bosom, can’t see much else, so skanky to see. Hopes daughter look like a hooker. Why do they dress.her so bad?
I agree..though for some reason that’s the mode in Hollywood now.
Also agree…so inappropriately dresses! Looks trampy…
I like Days Of Lives but I Do Not Like the gay crap. Everyone don’t want to see that junk. Please stop promoting the gay crap. God is totally against two men or two women being together as a couple. If this is right God would have created two men or two women not a man and woman. All you and everyone else needs to do is to read the Bible.
I do, because it’s not about their sexual preference, it’s about love. But people are obviously judgemental, they choose to make life disgusting like their own unhappy pathetic lives.
You’re likely reading a bible based on a 1946 translation.
If it bothers you that much – don’t watch
NiV study bible 2008 update…read Genesis 19. Basically says the same thing. Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed.
It was a sin of being inhospitable you know that sin that Donald Trump stands on and continues to commit When he threatens our lives, cuts off vital access to nations who need clean water. That’s the sin of inhospitality.
Yeah. Read the Bible. Why don’t you start with 1 Samuel 18?
1 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father’s house.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Kinda sounds like a gay wedding, doesn’t it? Probably because it was. And the reception was fabulous! Oh and that David guy? Yeah he’s the same guy who was known for taking down giants with a slingshot, and became my Former Employer’s hand picked choice to be the King of the Jews. They named a really famous star symbol after him too.
So I guess my Former Employer was cool with all of that, right?
check out 1Samuel 19 v9 to see how the Lord feels about it. bottom line..we are not God and our job on earth is to love and care for all humans. It’s not our place to condemn them but to lead them to the Bible with a loving heart. then they can choose their own way.
I am not only read the Bible, but I have a degree in it and working to get a doctorate in it. What’s your experience dude except for bay bad hair and bad teeth and you’re not entitled to hate and fear
Then don’t watch. I’m tired of the judgmental people who use the Bible to justify their lack of character.
31 years here and just as married as you (if a woman can put up with you)
John, not knowing much about you, other than what you posted here, I am saddened by your comment. Using the term “gay crap” to suggest that any gay character should not be featured is a shame. You apparently equate gay people with “crap,” and that’s not only insulting, it’s unfair. You don’t have to condone or even understand homosexuality. Yet we can all find common ground with others, despite our differences, and realize that we all have the same hopes and dreams.
You are entitled to your opinion and beliefs — and even your own interpretation of the Bible. I suspect you know gay people — most people do — whether they have come out to you personally or not. I believe that the Bible teaches us to “love thy neighbor.” We all want to be happy, to be loved, and to be proud of who we are. One way to do that — and I certainly don’t mean to sound preachy — is to show a little bit of compassion, understanding, respect, and empathy. I try to remind myself of this as well, as I feel bad when I stray from this path.
Good luck on your journey, Friend!
Very well put John it’s horrendous the hate so called fake Christians have with those they don’t understand. Love for God and love for others is the fulfillment of the commandments 1john chapter explain it great
David and Jonathan did have a covenant relationship and did have that love more than a woman as the Bible says
Can we stop being so understanding of people’s hate homophobia racism, and allegiances to white supremacy. They are literally trying to legislate LGBT folks and black and brown folks out of assistance while having a felon as their representative Steven Miller, who has nothing less than a representative of the KKK, so stop being so understanding
Unfortunately you have a misconception God gives us a choice he said choose this day Life or Death but suggest we choose
Life still a choice stop being Judgemental
Take a deep breath and chill , speak for yourself not God.
If God created man and woman he also created the a woman who might love another woman and a man who might love a man. You cant only accept God’s creation s that suit you.
the Bible is clear..look what God did to Sodom and Gomorrah
Except Sodom and Gomorrah wasn’t about homosexuality…
It is so sad how some people always have something to say about others sexual preferences. I’m sure everyone has been told starting a young age that we are
all GOD’S children. (Get over it)
As an out gay American Baptist minister, theologian who holds a mdiv at New York theological seminary, I can professionally, Morally. and theologically. Tell you that your understanding of sacred is whack.. I have been proud of days of our lives, proud that Lindsay Godfrey has found a courage to come out and to live her truth with a loving, same sex partner. I’m proud that Paul who plays Xander has done amazing work at the LGBT center in Los Angeles so if you don’t like the days of our live script then maybe you should find another show. Oh, and my husband and I were married at a Baptist Church.
Exactly.
❤️I agree
Ciara dresses the way the young ladies dress now, The gay stuff is a part of life, and not in the Bible,
I’m so sad to lose another wonderful actor who has been on Days for many years.I have gone through Roman , Roman and the current Roman(ex Chris Kosachek).Whether he was Roman # 2 or John he was talented and special !!!
He will be missed greatly!
So sad. All the patriarcs are passing on. Stefano, Victor, John, Roman and Doug.
So true that you pointed that out, I hadn’t thought about it that way, but Roman is still alive. There’s only three older men left on the show Abe, Roman, and Steve.
To John who posted that he doesn’t like the “gay crap as he put itLove is love, simply put no matter what shape form color preference,,,it’s all love!deal with it
I don’t like what they did to Xander.
Sad times, indeed. DAYS honors its long-time cast members when they pass away like no other soap I’ve ever watched.
I was hoping that John wouldn’t die. He had burns on his face so they could do plastic surgery and bring someone else in for the part of John. But my rathers don’t count.
